npm install fails when using NodeJS v0.12.x

[emilsoman]

I get the following error when I try npm install when I'm on node v0.12.0 (Works fine when I tried on node v0.10.25) :

> kinect@0.3.0 install /Users/emil/Testing/node-kinect
> node-gyp rebuild

child_process: customFds option is deprecated, use stdio instead.

Ah okay. I haven't tried with Node 12 yet. I will try it when I get a chance. Thanks for opening the issue!

[theoperatore]

Hello! Any update on the progress of this issue? Otherwise, I'll probably try to look into upgrading the lib to use Node v0.12.4+ if that's ok.

[nguyer]

@theoperatore I have been pretty busy lately and haven't had a chance to try it yet. If you get it working, please feel free to create a PR.

[TrevorJTClarke]

I am getting the same issue, @theoperatore have you figured it out yet?

[pbucci]

Same issue on Mac OSX—other people having similar issues with node-gyp, tried upgrading to newest Xcode + CLT. Fixed by downgrading node to v0.10.36.

I'm using Mac OSX El Capitan. Also fixed by downgrading node to v0.10.36 when running npm install.
But when I run npm test,I got some errors:

Yeah, I got similar errors, but was still able to run w/o major issues. I suggest testing w/o the provided test package.

Also on El Capitan **
